Customs Officers Can Easily Detect Smuggling Tourist
Agents of Secret Service Discover Confraband With Uneerring Accuracy
London, (United Press)—American eagle crossing from France to England on their summer vacation has wandered at the astonishing accuracy of a small team of divers at Dover and Follosleigh has sorted the amateur scavengers from the nonspugglers. By amateur scavenger is meant the tourist who is only trying to retrieve a single liquor or a couple of hundred American eaglets.
System Based on Espionage
System Based on Espionage
As now revealed by custoins officers the system they work on is based on a vast system of espionage "belied the librarian and was the bodyguard of human nature. The man or woman who writes bible self or herself up with the ability to maintain a perfect "power free" is probably the most likely to be in camp. On the other hand it is just an dangerous to appear bibbily innocent of any wrong doing. Reverently a woman who emiled sweetness when her筐ware was passed, avowed that she would kill anyone who called her back and found several hundred dollars worth of silks in her dollars.
But mostly the meeting minutes with which the officials work can be traced to an elaborate secret service that starts in France and is continuous on the channel bunks. With the French customs office in Paris, you are on a almost invisible tempter on board the channel bunk to take a peek at the luggage and see if everything is still all right, or whether there isn't a better place to hide what might before arrival as the English port.
On board there are operatives disguised as tourists whose sharp eyes seem almost omnivore. They mark the furious inspections of burglaries, or any norvegian of possession. The crew members are often formed and the contrainment apported to the astonishment and chagrin of the tourists.
New Latin Clubs Formed
Twelve High Schools Establish Organizations
Twelve new Latin clubs have been organized in the high schools of the state, according to the Kansas Service Bureau for Latin teachers in the second letter, Wednesday, Dec. 16. The Kansas Service Bureau is composed of more than 200 educators from the University of Kansas and the Extension department.
The new clubs are: Ada high school, Atchison high school, Buster Springs, Colby, Garnett, Holton, Pateo, and Stafford. There are five clubs at Arkansas City, three of which are new.
The department of Latin at the University has helped about thirty-five teachers during the past month by providing a Service Bureau with personal letters.
Suggestions have been made to help the new Latin clubs that have been organized and a complete list of material which the teachers may obtain from the Service Burana has been sent to all Latin teachers.
Some of this material is given to the teacher and other is loaned for a period of two weeks. It includes Latin plays, directions for teaching, suggestions for Latin clubs, and Latin versions of well-known songs.
To help create competition and interest in rowing at the Oregon Agricultural college, the University of California has donated two race ring equipment, to the Oregon school. The gift is valued at $2,000.
Carols, Sleigh Bells and Feasts Make Christmas Eve in Russia Similar to American Yuletide
Picture a tiny hamlet nestling under a banket of stars, snow gleaning over dark colored lights and a Christmas tree lit up by the moon. Air the sound of carols and the musical jingle of sleigh bells. That is Christmas Eve in Russia, says Paul Cheuermoff, of Perogro, who attended attending the University of Krasna.
"Roedestroet," meaning Christmas or the Birth of Christ, is not the largest festival in Russia but is celebrated throughout the land and in many ways. It Russians have Yulietle customs a common with Americans. Easter, however, is the all-important holiday in the country, Mr. Cleveland wrote to the crowdmen, "Mr. Cleveland."
Presents Placed on Table
"I in my country the Christians pretend to the land and people with a crown of the coming of the Christ," Mr. Chevroff explained. "We do not send Christmas cards and we do not hang up our stockings for presents. They are placed on a stoll" or table near the tree. And all over Russia the trees are prepared on Christmas eve but children who do not see the young children who do not see the tree until the following morning."
"Christmas Eve everybody goes from house to house singing Christmas carol* and the poor people are given food and presents by the wealthiest." "Groups of young people ride about in sleighs singing to the accompanist."
port of instruments similar to your banjos, guitars and accordions and the sounds of the "columbia" can be heard in every town and village in
Holiday Foods are Served
The best room of every home in Russia is given over to a sort of banquet table at Christmas time, according to Mr. Covrenoff. A long table is placed in the room and laded with various kinds of Russian holiday dishes, especially with *Shevchok*, a fruit cake from a festival in Paris. Parties are held in all the homes and as prohibition has not reached Russia the eustoma is to serve wines at the feasts.
"Church services dwell on Christmas Eve but are attended by only a few people," Mr. Chevrillow says, "Christmas morning there is a big celebration which is attended by everyone and after the service the church gives away gifts from home to house visiting their neighbors at Merry Christmas.
"In many of the small villages the people are still superstitious," Mr. Chevronafi said in conclusion, "and they believe in spirits. They think that the gods can mitigate but that after the birth of Christ the good spirit disease of the evil ones him it is safe to go about. In many localities the parents still have tools on the table Christmas Eve and the good spirit belief not go gunny."
Librarian Gets Big Kick From People's Mistakes
"It is quite amazing to notice the mistakes that people make when calling for particular books at the library," and the city librarian. "We get a good many laughs out of them and so do the people who make the sorrow. Some of the funniest mistakes are made by those who have only a hary idea of what the title reads and no idea at all of its areas. A diligent botanist came in one afternoon and asked us for a book on plants by Lather and Bankert. We persuaded him to take a Another afternoon we had a call to Van Camp's Daily Dozen.
The most common error is made by people who know the book they are cooking but have given very vainly Doughty (as the title). For restraint, Wall Street" for "Old Street," and Rowan's "Bees." "Gought and Paid For" instead of "Paid in Full." One man asked for "That Old Woman of Mine" instead of "That Old Sweetheart of Mine." another wanted "Never the Twins Shall Meet" and was satisfied with "That Man Called Farber." Farber's "So Big," has gone away several times with people who used for "Too Big."
"We had a hard time contenting the woman who asked for "The Man With
the Iron Star" with "The Mine With the Iron Dome" but it was fairly easy to convince the woman who asked for "The Family Fruit Tree" that what she wanted was "fruit of the Family Free". We have had a number of sails for O. Henry's "The Four Hour" although his book is called "The Four Million". There are other and almost unimaginable mistakes made. Similarly, when the maker of the sails is much more confident as it we do alloble some times it is hard for us to know just what book we wanted.

Engineer May Be Chosen to Take King's Throne
"The vote for selection of the campus King of Asses is heavier than was expected up until noon today," John Foster, a manager of the election, said early this afternoon. "Brielle's is n Mecca for the students more than A. As still heavier, I expected this afternoon and this evening."
The voting will determine the King to represent the Hill in the humor section of the 1927 Iyayawkher. Fourteen candidates were announced yesterday by the staff of the Iyayawkher, although it is understood that the privilege of selecting a candidate will be given to anyone who votes.
There was no way of telling what candidate was running high at noon today, but popular sentiment about Brick's seemed to favor the election of John Baldwin, the representative of the School of Engineering. It is
